We believe art is fundamental to the human experience and carries the power to effect positive change on a global scale. This belief has guided Ryan Cronin through over thirty years of making — paintings, drawings, sculpture, and public art installations — a sustained practice that continues to evolve. For more than a decade, he has operated a gallery in New York's Hudson Valley while continuing to work with galleries, museums, and institutions internationally.
This is CronArtUSA — the platform behind the artist. A gallery. A shop. A home base for three decades of work and a launchpad for what's next. We don't work in isolation — collaborations are part of how the work moves through the world. Whether you're here to see the art, explore the projects, or bring something home, there's a way in.
We're so glad you're here.
Cronin's vibrant oil paintings on board offer an unfiltered commentary on modern life. His work is characterized by bold use of color and precise compositional elements, dynamically exploring color, form, and cultural resonance.
His style is deeply rooted in the DIY ethos of the 1990s underground scene, which profoundly shaped his approach. His distinctive artistic voice has evolved across various mediums while maintaining the authentic edge that first distinguished his work.
Cronin's work is held in the permanent collection of the Obama Presidential Center and exhibited alongside leading figures in contemporary art. In 2019, he was selected for the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation Thread Artist Residency in Senegal — a relationship that endures.
Some of Cronin's most significant work lives outside the gallery — in public spaces, through partnerships, in unexpected places. Expect A Bike. The Box. Art4Lax. We Are Public Health. The work extends beyond the piece itself and draws upon the audience as part of the act of creating art.
There's a history here, and there are active projects unfolding right now. If you're curious, we invite you to dive in and explore.
Every piece carries Ryan's hand — whether it's an original painting, a signed print, or a blanket woven from his imagery. The form changes. The work doesn't. When you shop here, you become part of what we're building — the art, the projects, the collaborations that extend far beyond the gallery walls.
This is your invitation in. Shop online or visit us in person — we ship worldwide. Wear the work. Hang it on your wall. Wrap yourself in it. However you show up, you're part of this. And keep checking back — there's always something new.
